A NEW INDUSTRIAL METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TESTING OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

» Abstract. This paper presents an original method and a practical system implementation for testing virtually any kind of integrated circuit (IC). The testing method is based on the IC terminal characteristics plotting, by measuring few voltage-current pairs for all the IC terminal pairs. The testing system block diagram, some of the circuits schematics and some of theirs design formulae are presented. This testing method can be used in the industrial environment because of its advantages: the simplicity, the low cost, high testing speed and the testing system portability. The main disadvantage, specific to the structural testing methods, is the uncertain positive answer; to overcome this, some supplementary functional tests can be used.

THE WORKABILITY ANALYSIS OF CERTAIN TITANIUM ALLOYS FOR AVIATION INDUSTRY, USING DECISION MODELLING METHODS

» Abstract. The present study retrieves a set of conclusions taken from an analysis using two decision modelling methods under conditions of certainty (Onicescu Method and Global Utility Method). The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the workability of three selected Titanium alloys, most frequently used in aviation industry (TiMo32, TiAl6V4 and TiAl5Fe2,5). According to the evaluation hereunder, all the results are revealing the same hierarchy of workability properties for both the set of Titanium alloys, and the couple "machined alloy / tool". Thus, the results of both applied methods, are showing that the lowest workable alloy is TiMo32 comparing to TiAl5Fe2,5 (relatively the best), and the best suitable couple "machined alloy / tool" is TiAl5Fe2,5/K20, while the poorest is TiAl6V4/P20. A secondary conclusion is that the tool material having the poorest performance is P20, comparing to K20.

OPTICAL SENSORS USED IN VIABLE CELLS DETECTION

» Abstract. The food and drink industries need rapid and affordable methods to assure the quality of products and process control, where the use of analytical methods such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or mass spectroscopy (MS) may be costly or laborious. Application of sensors and biosensors technique in the field of food processing and quality control is promising. Optical sensors offer advantages as alternatives to conventional methods due to their inherent specificity, simplicity and quick response.

NOISE IN TV CHANNEL. NOISE MEASURING AT TV RECEIVER ENTRANCE (1ST PART)

» Abstract. Statistics and probability calculus may be used in television to characterize noise in TV channels. This paper presents the experimentally results of noise measuring at TV receiver entrance. The paper first introduces the most important concepts in statistics and probability, emphasizing how they apply to acquired signals and noise. The experimentally measurements were concentrated onto determining the characteristics of the noise in UHF frequency band TV channels. The data acquisition system was used to measure various parameters of fluctuation noise at TV receiver entrance. These parameters are important in understanding the noise influence on the quality of received images.

MECHANICAL SHOCKS GENERATOR BASED ON PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS

» Abstract. This device constitutes a specific application of piezoelectric transducers, which allow the generation of mechanical shocks. The device work is based on the process of achieving of inverse piezoelectric effect, meaning the deformation of the crystalline network of the piezoelectric device caused by an external electrical field. The deformation power of piezoelectric transducer is approximately 450W. The dimensions and the composition of the piezoelectric transducers were determined depending on the working conditions and on the datum mechanical power. The equipment was physically realized and it constituted the object of a research contract of the Optical-Electronic Institute of Bucharest.

THE 5S OF TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE: AN APPLICATION OF BARNES’ PRINCIPLES?

» Abstract. The last decades have proved the Japanese superiority in improvement management, by applying original concepts, subsequently massively transferred to the western world. As examples the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) should be mentioned, together with its three basic principles: Selfmaintenance, "5S", Productive Maintenance. At the same time, the western world demonstrates possibilities of technological innovation (technological leaps) superior to the Asian ones. Today the combination of the two directions represents the key to business success in the context of modernisation of markets, by a continuous growth of performances.

It is to be remarked that R.M. Barnes’s principles of motions saving stated already in the 1940s (that is at least four decades prior the conceptualisation of the 5S) are consistently represented in the “5S” of TPM. The present study aims at analysing this phenomenon, demonstrating that the “5S” of the TPM are partially interrelated with R.M. Barnes’ principles.
